In Kethry's time at college, she won the coolness crown For her ability to comeback whenever she's put down She listens to their story and comes back with words so kind But a newer meaning these added words will find For instance, when she went out with a man named Carey When he said, "you know I'm trying" she replied… "Yes very" When she was told her mind was sick she didn't turn her head Instead she simply muttered, "It's not sick it's only dead" This went on for all the year, the conversation trend Everyone waited close to hear, if her come-back would defend And when she missed the parties, the next day all would tell About conversations in her absence, so she could make things well Once when in her absence she was called 'mud' by a clown, He joyfully informed her, she looked him up and down Her response was the one, which took the coolness crown She said "well it WAS dirt, so it's been watered down." Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

If this is true I've been you it's not what it's meant to be I like it more when you sing happily... Keth I remember what this is like...someday, maybe you won't have to go through these moments... Hugs, < !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

ethome, thanks for the cute. Can you see my ear to ear grin Sunshine, for you no comeback, just poetry and happy singing.  Marsha, I could have been the comeback kid except that I was a growned up. Sir Sven if you had been around I would have needed no defence. Thanks for the lady title, I'm very restrained you know,(usually by people in white coats)  Deer I'd always come back for you, although you are so far ahead of me in style and class you may have to come back for me. pepper, I'm sometimes so way beyond cool I'm icy. be well Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed?
